COurtship in Greenland.

The preacher is invariably resorted
to, both by young men and maidens,
as the matrimonial agent. A young
man comes to the missionary house
and saws to him, Il want TO marry.
"Whoma" asks the missionary.
Have you anyone in mlnd'
Yes" answers the lover, ''but she
will not have me. | want you to speak
to her."

MANY times, but she always says
No.
THAT is nothing" says the pastor;
"you know the ways of maidens- Does
she like you" .
1T is difficult to find out. She will
tell you" The pastor accordingly
sends for the girl, who comes willingly
enough, knowing what the message
means.

variable and conventional answer.

The missionary then tells her his
name-although she knows it as we'll
as he does-and launches out into the
lovers praise. He is strong, good
looking, kindly; he caught two fine
whales when his companions took none,
or whatever else can be said to his re-
pute. After the catalogue OF his merits
has been recited, the girl replies:
But l think him good-for-noth-

"Ah, WE'LL" says the missionary,
s'thou art not wise. There Is no lad

He then wishes the girl good day,
affecting to believe that the interview
is over. But she is sure to linger, and

her that she knows she loves the lad;
that she would not have come if she

that nothing is wanting but to ask the

which the bride has emphatically pro-
tested that she will never have the
bridegroom. -Mancbester Courier.

Rough on the Chaplain

Gen. N. P. Banks tells story about
one of his army chaplains which never
fails to "bring down" the G. A. r.
camp-fres. The chaplains of the regi-
ments during the war had charge of
the mails for the regiments to which
they were attached. The mail for the
regiment of this particular chaplain
had not come to hand for many days.
The regiment was out of the line of
communication. Every day from one
half to two-thirds of the soldier boys
filed up to the chaplain's tent with
such stereotyped inquiries as these:
ANY mail yet, chaplain?"
Have you heard from the maif?"
''Do You know when the mail will
Gomez"
mail?"
The good man was so pestered with
inquiries that he had no time to pre-
pare his weekly sermon. He was
obliged to spend all his time in ex-
planning that he had no mail, that he
had heard nothing about the mail 1t
occurred to him that he might put an
end to his troubles by sign. Procur-
ing the bottom of an old hard tack
box he marked it with charcoal and
nailed it on tree in front of his tent
so that all might see this notice:
THE CHAPLAIN DOES NOT KNOW WHEN
THE MAIL WILL ARRIVE.
The next anxious inquirer who came
along was reckless young wag. He
gazed for while at the notice, and,
discovering the piece of charcoal
which the chaplain had dropped on
the ground at the completion of the
sign, he seized it and added these
words:
AND HE DON'T CARE On.
The chaplain took in the sign and
never put out another one.-NsU York

HALLS

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years Doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be con
stitutional disease, and therefore requir
es a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by T. J.
Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure now on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces Of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails TO cure. Send

An amusing incident Illustrative of alb

session of the German reichstag. Herr
Wichmann was calling the roll of mem

name, he naturally received no response.
He called the name the second time, in a
louder tone, and finally roared it out like
healthy lunged bull. But at this juno
ture the laughter of his colleagues show
ed there must be something wrong, and
soon realizing the ludicrous situation, he
joined in the hilarity and marked himself
present.-The Argonaut.

Hard Summer on Pianos.

II never knew so hard summer on

and most expensive instruments have
suffered, those built of the most thor
oughly seasoned materials being the most
seriously affected. In cases where ex-
traordinary precautions have been taken.
and the instruments have not suffered
from the dampness particularly. the keys
have turned a deer yellow. While it is
q good practice to keep an instrument
closed when not in use, so that tho
mechanism may not be impaired by
dampness, still it should be opened occa-
sionally, so that the daylight can strike
the keys. If this is not done they will
always turn yellow. Moths will also find
their way into an instrument unless it is.
opened occasionally. Fully one. third Of
the work have had to do on pianos this
season has been to repair the damages
done by moths. Some persons, however,
kept the moths out by wrapping piece
of camphor up in soft paper and laying
it on the keyboard. New York Mail

THE GREAT WATERBURY CLOCK.

1t is Nearly Done. and is Said to Sur
pass That ut Strasburg.
The Waterbury Watch company has
almost completed its wonderful clock,
which, in its mechanism, is said to sur
pass the famous clock Of Strasburg. It
will be completed by early autumn, and
will then be on exhibition in several of
the leading cities of the United States.
No one has yet seen it but the builders.
The clock is eighteen feet high, with q
base of seven feet; the width is eight
feet, and it is six and one-half feet deep.
Nearly all tho choice and expensive
varieties of wood enter into its construc-
ton, also numberless variety of metals.
Tho cabinet work throughout is marvel
Of beauty. Five long years have been
consumed in its constructions: sometimes
four, at others five men have been en-
gagged in the work.
Time is indicated in the usual manner
by hours, minutes and seconds; in addi-
ton half seconds, eighths, sixteenths and
thirty-seconds. The day of the year,
month and week may also be taken from
the dial. The number Of wheels, parts,
pinions, springs and other parts OF tho
mechanism is legion, all of which con-
tribute to most wonderful and amusing
exhibitions of historical events. The
several phases Of the moon arc indicated.
The entire system of the planets and
solar system are shown in perfect form
and in all the varied revolutions, A per-
feet system of astronomy may be studied
from tho ingenious machinery. Many
hundred figures represent distinguished
clergymen, lawyers, physicians, orators.
poets, musicians, sculptors, artists and
actors; also distinguished men OF all
nations. These figures arc said to be
carved in wood from correct likenesses,
and are most complete representatives.
